Pro Tools 2020.9 Read Me (Macos) Read Me Pro Tools and Pro Tools | Ultimate Software 2020.9 on macOS 10.13.6, 10.14.6, and 10.15.6 This Read Me documents important compatibility information and known issues for Pro Tools® and Pro Tools | Utimate Software 2020.9 on macOS 10.13.6 (“High Sierra”), 10.14.6 (“Mojave”), and 10.15.6 (“Catalina”). For detailed compatibility information, including supported operating systems, visit the Pro Tools compatibility pages online. Compatibility Avid can only assure compatibility and provide support for qualified hardware and software configurations. For the latest compatibility information—including qualified computers, operating systems, and third-party products—visit the Avid website (www.avid.com/compatibility). General Compatibility Pro Tools would like to access files on a removable volume. (PT-256794) macOS 10.15 (“Catalina”) introduces a new dialog that controls application access to external volumes. You may encounter this dialog when launching Pro Tools or when mounting a new volume with Pro Tools open. Clicking OK lets Pro Tools see the media on this vol- ume for use with sessions, as well as an available volume in the Workspace. It is recommended that you click OK, but even if you click Don't Allow instead you can still allow this later in the macOS System Preferences > Security & Privacy settings. Pro Tools legacy key commands in the Import Audio dialog conflict with Finder commands in Catalina (PT-257178) The legacy keyboard shortcuts in the Import Audio dialog no longer function as expected on macOS Catalina. The legacy shortcuts continue to work on macOS Mohave and earlier. The legacy key commands have been remapped to new shortcuts for use with a QWERTY keyboard in the Import Audio dialog on macOS Catalina and later. Remapping of legacy key commands in Audio Import dialog for macOS Catalina Legacy Key Command New Key Command Key Command Function Legacy Catalina Function Command+W Control+W Select Done Choose Cancel Command+I Control+I Import selected file reveals file in Finder and opens Get Info Command+Option+I Control+Option+I Import selected files N/A Command+R Control+R Remove selected file Reveal file in Finder Command+Option+R Control+Option+R Remove selected files N/A Command+C Control+C Copy selected file N/A Command+Option+C Control+Option+C Copy selected files N/A Also note that on macOS Catalina, the spacebar plays files in the Finder rather than audio in the Import Audio dialog. Pro Tools and Pro Tools | Ultimate Software 2020.9 on macOS 10.13.6, 10.14.6, and 10.15.6 — 8/29/20 9329-66167-00 REV A 1 “Audio Input for Pro Tools is disabled.” on Mojave. (PT-247690) macOS 10.14 (“Mojave”) introduced a system preference that blocks access to “the microphone” unless you explicitly allow it on a per application basis. This preference affects not only microphones but all audio inputs. Pro Tools must be allowed access in order for it to use any audio inputs. When Pro Tools is launched for the first time, it posts a warning dialog with instructions on how to grant access. Afterwards, an OS warning dialog opens, prompting you to allow Pro Tools access to the microphone. Click OK to enable audio inputs. If you previously clicked Don’t Allow, or the OS warning did not appear for some reason, you can manually allow microphone access by going to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Microphone and enable Pro Tools. Pro Tools and Pro Tools | Ultimate Software 2020.9 on macOS 10.13.6, 10.14.6, and 10.15.6 — 8/29/20 2 If Pro Tools detects that it does not have microphone access, instructions are be posted each time Pro Tools is launched. Click Open Sys- tem Prefs and enable Microphone access for Pro Tools. Pro Tools session closes unexpectedly when removing headphones from the headphone jack on newer MacBook Pros (PT-247965) When working with the built-in audio of some newer MacBook or MacBook Pros, unplugging headphones during use may trigger a di- alog that the I/O layout has been changed by another application. There is currently no workaround for this, so be sure to save and close your session before unplugging from the headphone jack. On some macOS systems Pro Tools may display the warning dialog “IO channel count for current playback device has changed. Please restart Pro Tools” at first launch during Audio Engine initialization. (PT-260818) When Pro Tools is installed on a clean macOS system, the very first launch may result in a warning dialog shown during Audio Engine initialization: “IO channel count for current playback device has changed. Please restart Pro Tools.” After the restart, Pro Tools launches normally using the available playback engine. “The plug-in could not be made active because an AAE error was encountered. AAE error –7054 was encountered.” (PT-233109) With Pro Tools 2019.5 (or higher) and Media Composer 2018.12 or Media Composer 2018.12.1 co-installed on your computer, you will encounter the following after uninstalling Media Composer, and then launching Pro Tools and creating or opening a session: “The plug- in could not be made active because an AAE error was encountered. AAE error –7054 was encountered.” If this occurs, quit and re- launch Pro Tools, and the error will not occur again. Performance issues may occur when using EuControl with the H/W Buffer Size set to 32 in large sessions on macOs. (PT-248711) When working with large sessions with the H/W Buffer Size set to 32, and with EUCON enabled, may result in CPU spikes and AAE –6101 errors during playback. If your session exceeds 500 audio tracks it is recommended that you use H/W Buffer Size of 64 or larger when EUCON is enabled. Pro Tools 12 and higher does not support video capture (PTSW-181456) Pro Tools 12 and higher does not have the ability to record video to the timeline. Use another application or a lower version of Pro Tools with a supported video peripheral to capture video and then import it into Pro Tools 12 or higher sessions. Avid Video Engine (AVE) is not supported with drives that are case-sensitive formatted (UME-1223) The Avid Video Engine (AVE) will not load on macOS if the OS drive/volume is formatted as macOS Extended (Case-sensitive, Jour- naled). In order for AVE to load, the OS drive/volume must be formatted as macOS Extended (Journaled). Pro Tools 12 and higher does not allow import of WMA files (PTSW-181506) If you attempt to import a WMA file into a Pro Tools 12 or higher session, Pro Tools cannot convert the file and posts a “file is unread- able” message. Co-install Pro Tools 10.3.10 (or higher) on the same system, import the WMA file, and convert it to a format supported by Pro Tools 12 and higher. Pro Tools and Pro Tools | Ultimate Software 2020.9 on macOS 10.13.6, 10.14.6, and 10.15.6 — 8/29/20 3 Single track direct output exports from Media Composer may appear in the wrong channel when imported to Pro Tools. (PT-247229) (Pro Tools | Ultimate and Media Composer | Ultimate Only) Using Pro Tools 2018.12 or higher and Media Composer 2018.10 or higher, iIf a single track is exported from Media Composer and the Direct Output, One File, .Wav file export options are enabled, the file may import into Pro Tools with the wrong channel order. To avoid this issue, select the File Per Track, 5.1, or 7.1 export options in Media Composer. This results in a single file that will import into Pro Tools with the correct channel order. Another option is to export multiple tracks with the Direct Output setting enabled. This results in a single file that Pro Tools treats as consisting of all mono channels. Grid mode shortcut (F4) doesn't select or toggle Grid mode on late 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar if a web browser is launched with a web page loaded (PT-224790) The “F4” function key on a TouchBar of the 4th generation MacBook Pro (late 2016) doesn't select or toggle Grid mode if a Web Browser (e.g., Safari or Google Chrome) is launched with a web page loaded (e.g., Google Homepage). Close the Web browser while working in Pro Tools to avoid this issue. Some contextual menus are not accessible using a key modifier and Left-click (PT-218014) Not all contextual menus can be viewed using a key modifier and Left-click (primary click). For example, Control-clicking a plug-in pa- rameter cannot access its contextual menu because Control is an isolating modifier for plug-ins. Be sure to enable Secondary Click in the Mouse System Preferences (Apple menu > System Preferences > Mouse), and the use the secondary button on your two-button mouse (typically Right-click) to access all contextual menus in Pro Tools. After creating a new user account on macOS, you can initially only save a Pro Tools session in a non-local folder called “Documents” (PT-204548) To avoid this issue, create a folder named “Documents,” save a session there, then save the session and all other subsequent sessions wherever you wish. Warning displayed when opening a session or project created in Pro Tools 12.6 or higher in a lower version of Pro Tools (PT-220349) Any session or project created with Pro Tools 12.6 or higher presents a warning when opened in a lower version of Pro Tools (such as Pro Tools 12.5).

  • Organizing Screens with Mission Control | 61
    Organizing Screens with 7 Mission Control If you’re like a lot of Mac users, you like to do a lot of things at once. No matter how big your screen may be, it can still feel crowded as you open and arrange multiple windows on the desktop. The solution to the problem? Mission Control. The idea behind Mission Control is to show what you’re running all at once. It allows you to quickly swap programs. In addition, Mission Control lets you create multiple virtual desktops (called Spaces) that you can display one at a time. By storing one or more program windows in a single space, you can keep open windows organized without cluttering up a single screen. When you want to view another window, just switch to a different virtual desktop. Project goal: Learn to use Mission Control to create and manage virtual desktops (Spaces). My New Mac, Lion Edition © 2011 by Wallace Wang lion_book-4c.indb 59 9/9/2011 12:04:57 PM What You’ll Be Using To learn how to switch through multiple virtual desktops (Spaces) on your Macintosh using Mission Control, you’ll use the following: > Mission Control > The Safari web browser > The Finder program Starting Mission Control Initially, your Macintosh displays a single desktop, which is what you see when you start up your Macintosh. When you want to create additional virtual desktops, or Spaces, you’ll need to start Mission Control. There are three ways to start Mission Control: > Start Mission Control from the Applications folder or Dock. > Press F9.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • Apple for Newbies
    Apple for Newbies While Macs are technically personal computers (PCs), the term PC is often used to describe computers that run Windows or Linux. Therefore, Macs are often referred to as personal computers, but not PCs. Unlike PCs, which are manufactured by several different companies, Apple designs and manufactures all Macintosh computers. Dock Select an item in the Dock: click its icon. When an application is running, the Dock displays an illuminated dash beneath the application's icon. To make any currently running application the active one, click its icon in the Dock to switch to it (the active application's name appears in the menu bar to the right of the Apple logo). As you open applications, their respective icons appear in the Dock, even if they weren't there originally. That means if you've got a lot of applications open, your Dock will grow substantially. If you minimize a window, the window gets pulled down into the Dock and waits until you click this icon to bring up the window again. The Dock keeps applications on its left side, while Stacks and minimized windows are kept on its right. If you look closely, you'll see a vertical separator line that separates them. If you want to rearrange where the icons appear within their line limits, just drag a docked icon to another location on the Dock and drop it. Tip: Control-click or right-click a Dock item to see a contextual menu of additional choices. Adding and removing Dock items 1. Add an item to the Dock: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock and drag the application icon to the Dock; the icons in the Dock will move aside to make room for the new one.

  • Successful Application of New Technologies to the Rosetta and Mars Express Simulators
    white paper Successful Application of New Technologies to the Rosetta and Mars Express Simulators J. Martin, J. Ochs 1 VEGA GmbH, Hilperstrasse 20A, D-64295, Darmstadt, Germany Abstract VEGA is currently in the final stages of implementing the Rosetta and Mars Express simulators for the European Space Operation Centre (ESOC). Both simulators are high fidelity, entirely software-based tools principally used for training the operations team. This paper describes aspects of the development of the simulator, in particular focussing upon the application of new technologies, the re-use of previously developed models and infrastructures, and the potential re-use of the new technologies in future simulators. Introduction VEGA won the contract to supply both the Rosetta and Mars Express simulators to ESOC. The two simulators were to be developed concurrently and with a fixed schedule. Due to hardware re-use on the spacecraft, VEGA was able to establish a common code-base for the two simulators, which has simplified the overall development. Each simulator contains a high fidelity model of the spacecraft platform. In comparison, the scientific payload instruments have been modelled in a generic, lower fidelity manner, but incorporate a higher degree of user configurability. Such an approach allows the payload models to be readily updated should the need arise. In response to customer requirements, and as a result of simulator design, it was found necessary to utilize a host of new technologies, not least the infrastructure within which the simulators run. However, all parts of the simulators are not new. In fact, the design also incorporates models and infrastructures re-used from other VEGA and ESA projects.
